Brakes for freestyle scooters are mostly made of steel, are lightweight, and do not produce any unpleasant noise.It is good to choose the right brake, it should be from the same manufacturer as your board. We sell brakes from many high-quality brands.Nowadays, brakes that have a spring and a screw are almost no longer used. Today, we use brakes that are simply screwed onto the disc and, thanks to the manufacturing material (steel), are flexible, lightweight, and do not produce an unpleasant sound.
How to brake correctly?
- In the best case, use the brake only for tricks like a manual.
- brake by pressing the sole of your shoe against the ground. Thanks to this, your wheels won't get damaged and the brake won't wear out immediately.
- if you slam on the brake, you can create a flat spot on the wheel, and the wheel is ruined and it doesn't matter if the wheel costs 400 or 1500 CZK.
What is the difference between a Spring brake and a Flex fender brake?
- Spring brakes are mounted on a screw that is attached to the plate. This spring on the bolt ensures that the brake is directed upwards from the plate.
- Flex fender brakes are long metal plates that are bent to fit around the wheel. They are usually mounted to the board with one or more screws. If you press it, the entire plate bends against the wheel.
Both types of brakes are made for wheels with a diameter of 100 mm and 110 mm, you can find this information in the product details.
